Lunch at Tim Ho Wan

This is actually from an old draft from before the pandemic. I assume there hasn't been much change in the menu. We had this lunch at Tim Ho Wan at the Uptown Mall in BGC after what was probably an event there. I took these photos of the food we ordered and ate. At the time, Tim Ho Wan had just opened their branches in Metro Manila and it was difficult to get a table (one had to line up and there were long lines during lunch time). It was similar to when Din Tai Fung also opened their initial branches. Fortunately, we were able to get a table fast as we had a late lunch.

I cannot remember exactly how the food was but we enjoyed our lunch. Later, in Singapore last year, we also ate at a Tim Ho Wan near our hotel. We found the menu to be somewhat limited compared to the branches in Manila. Perhaps the ones in Singapore were like express ones? This was certainly not the sit-down restaurants in Manila.
